The Electoral College is as outdated as the 2nd Amendment

The Electoral College is as outdated as the 2nd Amendment

Presidents should be elected based on national popular votes - not electoral votes based on acreage and just rubber-stamped by partisans!

Popular vote - not acres!

In each state, whichever party garners a majority of popular votes, regardless of how narrow the margin, wins all the electoral votes. By forcing residents in each state ultimately to vote as a block, the system is supposed to ensure that small states' interests are not drowned out by those of larger states.

Is it your position, then, that the interests of small states should be drowned out by those of large states?

In any event, if you think that the Electoral College, the Second Amendment, or any other part of the Constitution is “outdated”, then the remedy is the same—try to get a new amendment ratified to overturn those parts of the Constitution that you do not like. Simply refusing to obey the Constitution, as those of you on the left wrong frequently demand, is nothing but lawlessness, that puts you on the same level as the lowest of criminals.

The second amendment exists for the people to defend themselves from tyrants like you who want to overthrow the republic

Indians are even more outdated

Indeed. Perhaps there are elements of their cultures that are worth preserving, but their societies were defeated and all but wiped out, because they were primitive, atechnical savages who had no chance against more modern enemies bearing more modern technology. What was left of them ought to have assimilated into the new society that was created in their place.

Lakhota, under a Trump tyranny, the 2nd amendment is more important than ever. If he decides to come for you, your best bet is to be armed.

So, thanks to the founders' lack of foresight - we're going to get fucked tomorrow!

Someone clearly didn't tell him. Clinton lost. We wont be screwed

The Electoral College is like Capitalism. Neither is a perfect system. They just happen to be better than all the alternatives.

r u really this dumb Lakhota

Well, he is, but so are you, if you're too stupid/lazy to spell out simple words such as “Are” or “you”. He may be dumb, but at least he's literate.

The federal government would never go after native Americans

After we have nationwide voter ID, boot 20 million illegal aliens, secure the border, stop all other forms of Dem vote fraud, end income tax withholding and hold all elections the day after taxes are due in one lump sum....
then we can discuss using the popular vote.

Even if we achieve all that, the Electoral College will remain the way the President is elected. Only a Constitutional amendment can change it.

I don't think many Liberals know what the procedure is to change an Amendment. If they did they wouldn't harp on it all the live long day. Or even bring it up.

And deservedly so.

Still griping about this? Why? Because the cities would give your side a distinct advantage?
And I was under the impression you libs were opposed to the disenfranchisement of voters

the stypen certainly is.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

California only has 55 electoral votes. However, all states should just shut the fuck up when someone wins the national popular vote!

The Constitution says otherwise. And being this nation's highest law, it trumps your irrelevant opinion.

 

[thereisnospoon]

The electoral college is based on each states rights to have a say. You have a branch of congress with popular vote as it's basis. That is the House of Representatives. That is why California, New York and Illinois have such a high number of electors. The rest of the states would have NO say whatsoever in who was the President If it was a popular vote election. No state other than those three would ever vote to make popular vote the basis for presidential election in a constitutional convention. It would remove every vestige of equal protection from their states. Only a stupid liberal igmo would want popular vote to elect a president because then the president would always come from one of three or four states. This is a REPUBLIC, not a DEMOCRACY for a reason. The last election shows WHY it is so. The rape and pillage of the American working class, and the systematic destruction of an entire race of the people in this country have been stopped. I think that is well worth keeping the reason it happened.

There is no use in trying to explain the logic and reasoning of the EC to a lib.
You're talking to an irrational emoting left winger who cannot accept the fact that one of theirs lost an election.

They don't like that procedure either. They also think it's "not fair"..

No...You're fucked.
Fucked by the peaceful and civilized transfer of power from one individual and body of representatives to another.

BTW, ya left wing moon bat radical, the process worked as it was intended to work.

Your side should have nominated a better more electable candidate.
